I totally loved how clean the rooms were. I also appreciated the super spacious bathroom. I also could open the windows for some super fresh air. The location was perfect, really close to Princes Street, I found it all so easy!
The luggage storage options, were a little difficult. This place is a restaurant with rooms, so it made things a little tricky. I wish there was more space for bags and such!
